' An ,additional,andfurther object-of4 the invention is. to t provide,`Y- an `adj ust-able shade hanger,having'1 Inovel;,-,-fastening,1gineans;einbodying athinge, on elleaftof which isvadapted to be swung back 'to fasten, tofthe-top i orl .,under@ Iside offyvlinclow casing Olii left` straight to fasten tothe front face thereof as icircumstancesniay require, it being therefore possible to makea suitable connection with window casings of various types.

A further object of the invention is to provide a device of the abovecharacter that is simple in construction, strong and durable', and which it is believed may be manufactured at a reasonably low cost.

l Various other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent-during the continuance of the following description.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a perspective viewof the upper or top end of a'window casing showin the manner of applying the .invention thereto.

Figure 2 is a vertical cross section of the casing. p

Figure 4 is a sectional View of stil-1 another type of casing'andshowing the invention as fastened to the top thereof.

The shade hanger comprises tubular sections `10 and 11v respectively flattened on opposite sides and slidable one within, the

casings on the in- ,put gonv 25, 19211; 'serial 4not517,574;

The-other' end ofl ,v the shade is supported in a suitable bracket 17 carried at the outer end of inner section 11 and provided witha suitable opening 18.

Thesel brackets are 'e'ach 'integral with their respective supporting sections and hence are'movable toy or from each other for f i fitting shades'- of various sizes.

The hanger is fastened to a `window casf ing "by suitable hanger supports such as` l indicated at 19. There are preferablyptwoV of such supports arranged one at each end g l ofthel 'hanger'and fastened to the latter in proximity to a shade bracket! As shown in the drawing, in the form of screws 23 for fastening thesupport to a the supports are preferably; hinges having a lower leaf'- 20 provided with'a hook extension 21 adapt-l ed to hook yunder thehanger and soldered',

T e upper 10,57

window casing,` such `asillustrated at 24. By' reason of the upper hinge plates 22, the

shade hanger can -be suitably supported'l from window casings of various'types since l these upper leaves can bereadily swung to H j a position permitting convenient attachment of thesupport to the casing. In other words, they may be turned back to fasten to top of window casing or theunder side thereof as shown to advantage in Figures 3 and 4 of the drawings. Or, on the other hand, they may be left straight to fasten to the front face of the casing as' shown in Figures 1 and 2. AIn either case, the shade hanger, itis to be noted vis properly supportedfor holding the window shades in correct position and since` the hanger sections are adjusted to the properl size prior `to fastening tliesaine to the windowcasing, it is obvious that there will be no disturbance of any .part of the shade hanger after yit is fastened in place.

From the foregoing it is believed that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily understood and therefor@J lfurther detailed description'is deemed unnecessary. l

What is claimed is 1; An adjustable window shade hanger,

comprising a pair'of telescopic, adjustable,

khanger sections, a shade bracket at the outer end-of each section anda hinged fastener associated with each hanger sect-ion, each hinge fastener having a lower leaf fastened lto the section and its upper leaf movable for engagement with various sides of the casing and fastening means carried by the upper` deaf.

2. Anadjustable window shade hanger lcomprising a pair of tubular hanger sections relatively telescoped for slidable adjustment one within the other, the said outer section being splitlongitudinally of one side to provide elastic clamping portions, frictionally gripping the inner member to hold the sections in adjusted relation, a hinge fastener for each section, each fastener having one leaf'fastened to a section and, its other leaf adapted for attachment to a wind-ovv casing.

3. An' adjustable -Windovv shade hanger comprising a pairof longitudinally slidable members telesco'ped at their inner ends `and 'having right angularly disposed portions atl their respective' outer ends constituting shade brackets between which a shade roller is` adapted to be` supported and a hinged supporting element for each member, said width ofa-window casing, and attaching plates permanently'.v ]oined to the vcarrier means 'y by a hinge 'connection permitting said plates to be selectively secured to either the lvertical or horizontal surfaces ofthe upper transverse member of fthe aforesaid window casing. l l

In testimony whereof l' affix my signature.
